In writings, speeches, and an interview conducted in the wake of the famous Camp Casey summer in Crawford, Texas, Cindy Sheehan embraces her personal transformation into America's most outspoken advocate for peace. From her trip to the World Social Forum in Venezuela to her ouster from the State of the Union address, Sheehan continues to speak out on topics such as civil disobedience, US foreign policy, New Orleans, military recruitment, her son Casey's death on his fifth day in Iraq, and soldiers who resist.
This is a very emotional book from a wonderful lady.

at the response below telling us not to buy Cindy's book. First of all....TOO LATE!!! I already have it and it was wonderful...well written and straight from the heart......which is why the rightwingers can't comprehend it...they have no heart. The last sentence was a real gem.....Cindy is "hurting our country". Last time I looked it is GEORGE W. BUSH who is president and it's HIS POLICIES that is hurting......ummm,I mean KILLING this country. Cindy has a right to speak out against bush,isn't that what the rightwingers are always telling us......the troops are fighting for our FREEDOMS...or is it just the rightwingers freedoms they are fighting for? If the right would use all that energy they spend on hatred and bitterness for a good cause they would feel a whole lot better. That big chip they carry around on their shoulders has to be a burden. With 30% approval rating that bush has,you rightwing folks are the ones in the minority. Get over it already. Your party is toast.

THIS is a heartfelt, well written book.NO one who did in fact 'actually read it' OR who ever heard Cindy speak in person like my wife and I (both M.D.'s) haveCould call her 'rambling' or incoherent. That statement is nothing but sheer BALONEY.Also ... Cindy represents a "small minority" ???What CAVE have you been living in? The election THIEF is down to below 30% approval in ALL categories.Cindy represents MOST Americans, and is not a 'stay on the sidelines and do nothing' person = God bless her efforts (and the upcoming movie about her starring Oscar winner Susan Sarandon will do very well).The insincere people writing below need to GET OVER their envy of this woman (Telling someone else to 'go home and grieve' or 'shut up' could not BE more unAmerican ! Fortunately our founding fathers refused to do either of those.)Who has spoken all over the planet, is greatly admired in both America and Europe andHas made a difference in changing minds, to get this 'blood for oil' phony war ENDED.
